wheel and tire ? for xi

So I ditched my factory summer only run flats and mounted up some snows on my 189's. Run flats are now in the basement where they are going to stay. For the spring I'm looking for some new wheels. Here is what I am thinking, car is an 08 E92 xi. BBS CK's 19x8.5 all around with an ET35 off set all around. I would like to mount 245/35/19's on all corners. While I do know the overall tires is going to be .70 inches taller or so it shouldn't matter because they will all be the same front to rear. My main question is will these work in the front because of the width? I don't want to run a staggered set up anymore would like to be able to rotate the tires. Also would like a little more side wall and tire than the normal 235/35/19's that are recommended. So what do you think? I have no intentions of lowering the car so ride height will not be an issue.

I'd think that the speedo might be off a bit, but besides that you might be ok. Glad to here you made it back from Chi-town!! And we have another Jeep guy that switched over to the 335!! Jred22

you should do 235/35/19 all around i believe. I think 245 is the incorrect size

the speedo will be off ~1.5 mph so it should actually make it more accurate. The 235/35's just look tiny all the way around. In theory and with my half ass quick measurements in the snow and ice last night it should work?

And Ari so good to be home. Nothing like spending the holidays away from home trapped in another city trying to make a proof of concept data center work with all the incorrect tools, equipment, and people. Could have possibly gone to jail for thoughts of murdering sales folks.

You should check with www.tirerack.com

It gives you the right size tires for the wheels in any size, based on the car.

Correct tire would be 235/35-19

Those will be really nice wheels
